Eve of the Storm

As I lay in bed listening to the thunder and rain fall, I can't help but feel like someone is telling me something. That Allina had better get ready for the storm they are about to face as their nurses, once again, fight for what we and our patients deserve. As we set out on our fight, I know many emotions are being felt. Fear. Sadness. Anxiousness. But regardless of what we are feeling, we know we are doing the right thing for us and our patients. Or fight is not an easy one, but it is the right one. Know that you may be feeling weak and struggling with your emotions as one, but the nurses standing beside you on that line will hold you and give you their strength. And you will be someone else's strength. Now more than ever, we come together and stand strong in solidarity.
